we have a tax system dealing with international taxes, and our international tax system we tell people that if you are a business that's an american-owned business, and you do business in other parts of the world, you will pay their tax rate to that country, which is fair, but then when you bring your money back to the united states, you'll also have to pay the difference in our tax rate. we are the only country that does that. so we literally tell our businesses, do business all over the world, function all over the world, make money all over the world, but when you make money over there, we would encourage you to leave that money over there and not bring it back home. because if they bring it back home, they are actually punished for returning money back to the united states. now, what does that mean to american competition and how we actually function in our business world? what that means is if you are a german company doing business in the u.k., let's say, you pay the taxes for the u.k. and return your money back to headquarters. but if you are an american business doing business
